Waiting For Odysseus
Odysseus was the geek of his times. The really big warriors were the amoks, like Ajax and Achilles, who literally were possessed by the gods and spirits when in the frenzy of battle.
Odysseus was a warrior, but he was also a clever person... as Zorba said, like a "grocer" who "weighs everything."
You never saw anyone meticulously weigh things in a tender balance while they were in a blood-lust frenzy.
